The 100% Brisker gloves get three important things right: grip, comfort and warmth. Those were the standouts from my riding, and they make a convincing starting point for anyone looking for a cooler-weather glove for their eMTB.
There is an important distinction before buying, though. These are the standard Briskers, not the waterproof Hydromatic Briskers.
100% Brisker Cold Weather
The standard Brisker puts light insulation over the back of the hand while keeping a single-layer Clarino palm against the grip. That is an appealing balance for cold trail rides where you still want to feel a brake lever clearly rather than work through thick padding.

Our verdict
It is not the waterproof Hydromatic model. Choose it for chilly air and mixed conditions, not hours of driving rain. The cheapest offer here is a small Camo/Black pair, so it is only good value if that size fits; larger hands need a different available size and price.

Testing the 100% Brisker gloves
Good grip was a clear positive for me. A glove needs to feel secure on the handlebar, particularly when you are managing an eMTB through a changing trail surface. The Briskers delivered that reassuring grip, and comfort was another strength. They were pleasant to wear while riding, rather than simply feeling good when first pulled on.
The construction helps explain the balance. 100% uses a single layer of Clarino on the palm, with silicone printing to add traction. Clarino is a synthetic leather: here, it provides the contact surface between your hand and the grip without a thick insulated palm separating the two.
Warmth was the other clear positive from my time in them. The insulation sits across the back of the hand, where the softshell fabric adds protection from cooler conditions. That is a sensible arrangement for trail riding, where a glove still needs to let you wrap your fingers around the bar and work the controls.
Where the Briskers have limits
The main compromise is wet-weather protection. These gloves do not have the waterproof insert used in the Hydromatic version. Warmth on a ride should not be confused with an ability to keep rain out through a prolonged soaking, so I would not buy the standard Brisker specifically for that job.
There is also a difference between light insulation and maximum winter protection. Riders whose fingers get cold easily, or who spend long periods exposed to the weather, may want more insulation. My experience supports calling the Briskers warm, but it does not establish a minimum temperature at which they will suit everyone.
100% lists touchscreen compatibility, although that is a manufacturer feature rather than a result from this test. Likewise, long-term durability remains an open question here; initial comfort and grip cannot tell us how the palms and seams will look after a full winter.
For care after a wet ride, see our guide to drying wet MTB gloves without damaging them.
Alternative: 100% Hydromatic Brisker
If rain protection is the priority, the Hydromatic Brisker is the relevant alternative. It adds a waterproof, breathable insert, a PU palm and an extended pull-on cuff. That is a specification comparison, rather than a back-to-back riding verdict: the standard glove is the pair tested here.
Our best winter MTB gloves guide covers more options for cold and wet trails, while the broader MTB gloves guide includes lighter choices.
Verdict
The standard 100% Brisker is an appealing cooler-weather eMTB glove on the evidence of this test. I found it grippy, comfortable and warm, which covers the fundamentals well. Choose it for that combination, while recognising that sustained rain calls for a different level of protection.
Are 100% Brisker gloves waterproof?
No. The standard Brisker does not have a waterproof membrane. Look for the Hydromatic Brisker if you want the waterproof version.
Can you use Brisker gloves on an eMTB?
Yes. Their MTB construction suits eMTB riding too. Choose gloves around fit, control and the conditions you ride in, rather than whether the bike has a motor.
